The New York Journal of Commerce of Friday says, in that city there is an active demand for money, but prime business paper is selling readily, and there is a good deal of activity at the note brokers. There are a number of country banks, mostly outside of this state, which are refused in Wall street. Among those which have suspended we learn of the Bank of Carthage, and Drovers' of Ogdensburg, both in this state, and the Milford Bank of Delaware.

TWO arrivals this morning from Paramaribo. It is said they bring accounts to a respectable firm in this city that several cases of cholera had occurred at Niskerie, and that in consequence all vessels arriving in Paramaribo from that place were placed in quarantine. It is further said that the disease had been carried there by a vessel from Barbadoes which went for timber. The Surinaamsche Courant of the 6th July gives an account of the anniversary meeting of Moravian Brothers on the 4th of same month. The secretary of the society (Mr. H. C. Focke) gave some interesting accounts of the earliest origin of the Surinam branch. In 1735 they began their labors among the Caraib Indians. In 1776, on the 21st of July, they baptized the first negro slave, and gained thereby the good-will of the governor at that period, (Governor Nepven ;) they succeeded in building a small church, which was enlarged gradually until 1828, when the present large edifice was erected. In 1776 they obtained permission for the first time to slaves. instruct in the Christian religion fifty-two plantation When the present branch society WAS formed in Paramaribo, twenty-five years ago, the members were 970 in number, and they visited about six plantations in the "Commeweini." In a quarter of a century the members have increased in the following wonderful ratio: 5,135 in town, and 14,284 in the neighboring districts-together, 19,419. There are 28 working brothers and 24 sisters together laboring in their good work on 136 plantations. The expenditure of the society has amounted to the important sum of 101,828,074 guilders, (nearly 40,000 Spanish dollars,) 80,630 of which the government has most considerately paid. The meeting was crowded to excess. His excellency the governor, all the civil and military authorities, members of all professions, &c., were in attendance. The Week Blad shows by the register of the military hospital in Paramaribo that from 1839 to 1853, out of 12,681 patients, 839 died. The result of their observations is, that death is far less frequent among Europeans than any other class in proportion to population. PENNSYLVANIA STATE FAIR.-The Philadelphia Horticultural Society has resolved to hold no separate fair this season, but, instead thereof, to solicit all contributors to send their horticultural products to the great Pennsy Ivania State fair, which will be held at Powelton, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, commencing on the 26th of September. The Poultry and Bird Fanciers' Association will also cooperate in rendering the State fair attractive. As regards the Franklin Institute, the North American thinks they, too, will wisely resolve to make their usual display in conjunetion with the State Agricultural Society. BEAUTIES OF KNOW-NOTHINGISM.-Thetoat number of killed during the St. Louis riot was ten, and some of the wounded, at last advices, were still in a dangerous condition. It is estimated that 2,000 pistols and 500 bowie knives were sold in the city while the riots were in progress. EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE OF A LOCOMOTIVE.-The locomotive Nashville, belonging to the C. C. and C. and E. R. R. Company, George Westfall engineer, ran from Columbus to Erie, and forty miles back, or in all 295 miles, with one tender of wood. This fact is unprecedented in the history of locomotives, and we challenge the world to produce: like instance.-Oteveland-Herald. THE CHOLERA AT FALL RIVER.-The New Bedford Standard learns that the number of fatal cases of cholera in Fall River, between Saturday noon and 7 o'clock Tuesday morning, was 33. There is, as yet, no abatement in the ravages of the disease. The authorities of the city are taking every precautionary measure to stay the ravages of the disease. A young Irish couple were married on Saturday evening, and on Sunday the bride died of cholera at Fall River and was buried! A sad conclusion to a hopeful and happy matrimonial alliance. Miss Dix embarks for Europe in the steatmer Baltic today, for the improvementof her health New Hampshire is the most free from colored population of any State in the Union: there are towns in the State in which a black face was never seen. THE BROKEN BANKS.-The following are the prices paid by the brokers for the notes of banks which have recently failed: 75 cents.

THE CHOLERA IN Boston.-The whole number of deaths by cholera in this city thus far the present season is about 225. In 1849, when the disease became an epidemic, the number of its victims to the last of August was about 400; and when it ended, about the first of October, the number had reached something over 600.-Boston Transcript APPLES AT THE WEST - Letters from residents in the western part of the State of Ohio mention that the crop of apples in that vicinity is very large, and the fruit is sold at low rates.

# Summary of the Late Mails. Potatoes are selling at $2 per bushel in New York city. This is the price of the finest Genesee wheat at the mills in Rochester. Potatoes are rising to the station and character of costly luxuries in the market. Mr. Abel Hawley, who had the contract for dredging the harbor of Dubuque, gives up the job. He loses all his labor. The work he considers impracticable, the sand filling in about as fast as it can be cleared. It is thought docking must become the word there. John Van Buren's health is said to be poor, and that in consequence, he will soon return home from England. For the week ending August 26, 137 died in New York of cholera; in Boston, 26. The steamer Timour No. 2, exploded on the 26th ult., below Jefferson City. Some fifteen or twenty persons are killed and missing. The boat was so badly injured she immediately sunk. Hon.

Y.; 'Erie & Kalamazoo R. R. Bank,' Michigan; 'Bank of Washtenaw,' Michigan; 'Farmars' and Merchants' Bank of Memphis, Tenn.; 'Adrian Insurance Co.' John Townsend, Esq., one of the most influential men of Albany, died recently. Much commotion exists in Mexico, and revolution is the order of things; but the end time alone will develop. On the 13th of July a pitched battle was fought between two parties of Chinese at Weaverville, Trinity Co., Cal. 10 were killed and many wounded. On one side were over 400, and 120 on the other. At the late fire in Milwaukee, the Sentinel estimates the total loss at $381,900, of which amount $233,050 was covered by insurance. The Congregational Society at Madison have secured the services of Rev. Mr. Gould, of Kenosha, temporarily. He is much liked. The Baptist Church, at the same place is completed, and was dedicated on Sabbath week. It is a brick building, 78 feet long, by 48 wide. It contains 70 slips. The Adrian Watchtower contradicts the reported failure of the Erie & Kalamazoo Railroad Bank. South Carolina gets appropriations to the amount of $145,000 for public works from Congress. How much does Wisconsin get? In the Missouri Legislature the following is the state of parties: Whigs 62; Benton Democrats 39; Anti-Be ton 61. Tie 1. The Janesville Free Press of the 5th inst. says: The Methodist conference for Wisconsin and Minnesota, is now in session in this city and probably will continue most of the week. There are about 160 preachers present and the deliberations are conducted with much harmony and ability. On the day following the recent Southern Wisconsin R. R. meeting at Monroe, Green Co., the people of that town subscribed $68,000 to the stock of the company. The total population of Elkhorn is 654. The Kansas river is navigable for 900 miles to steamers drawing five feet of water. It is rumored that a lodge of Know-Nothings has been instituted, or is about to be instituted in Madison. Quite a panic prevails in Savannah in consequence of the increase of the yellow fever, and the citizens were rapidly leaving. At Charleston, also great uneasiness was manifested, and preparations were making to open a yellow fever hospital should the disease become an epidemic. Yellow fever in New Orleans is on the increase. In the whole city the deaths for the week ending on the 28th ult., ran up to 187. At a recent anti-Nebraska meeting, at Canton, St. Lawrence Co., N. Y. Preston King offered a resolution in favor of Col. Benton for the next President. At an Anti-Nebraska Mass Convention, held at Rockford Ill, on Wednesday the 30th ult., Hon. E. B. Washburne, the present able and faithful respresentative of the Jo Davies District in Congress, was re-nominated by acclamation.

# The Failing Banks The Cincinnati Commercial publishes a statement of the Kanawha bank, (of Va.,) showing a very safe state of affairs in that institution, and remarks- "While we know nothing of the institution except through the showing which it makes, and the character of some of its stockholders, we have no reason to suppose that we are in possession of less information than those who are endeavoring to do it an injury. An amount of assets equal to one dollar and twenty-seven cents for each dollar of its circulation is not a very bad state of things, certainly. We do not present ourselves as endorsers of the solvency of this or any other banking institution, but we should be sorry at this time of pecuniary oppression, to see the mitchief aggravated by an unjustifiable suspicion of any concern whatever. Of the Kentucky Trust Co. Bank at Covington, the same paper says- "This institution, closed its doors yesterday morning. The public generally have been taken by surprise, though there are many who seem to have anticipated the failure. For many months the amount of paper presented for redemption has averaged about $80,000 per week, which, at the usual high price of gold for sometime passed, absorbed nearly the whole profits of the bank. It is thought by some that the bank will be able to meet its liabilities; by others it is considered a complete failure. We saw some of its money selling for 90 cents in Covington, soon after the failure, which, at least is an indication that some of the people there have full confidence in the ability of the institution. The bank has a cirsulation of $800,000, a considerable part of which has been put out but recently. Speaking of the present state of Banks and money matters generally, the Sandusky Register says: "There can be no doubt but that the public mind is unnecessarily excited about the Indiana currency. The issues of the Free Banks are secured on what are considered good public stocks, and these securities if not forced on the market in an untimely manner are unquestionably sufficient to redeem the issues with small loss to the public, A panic forces the issues and the securities on the market, and the labor of the country suffers the loss. Those papers, which are busy stirring up this monetary excitement, should think of the ultimate effect of these excitements ere they launch out upon their ill-considered crusade against the banks." The following is a list of banks that have bursted within a short time past: Patchin Bank, Buffalo. Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, Oswego. Farmers' Bank of Canandaigua. Dovers' Bank, Ogdensburg. Bank of Carthage. Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, Md. Bank of Milford, Delaware. Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, Memphis, Massillon Bank, Ohio. Ohio Savings Institute, Tiffin. Cochituate Bank, Boston. Bank of West Killingly, Connecticut. Eighth Avenue Bank, New York. Bank of Ellsworth, Maine. Elkhart County Bank, Indiana. Bank of Northern Indiana. Bank of Washtenaw, Michigan. Erie and Kalamazoo Bank, Michigan. Kentucky Trust Co. Newport (Ky.,) Safety Trust Bank. Savings Bank of Cincinnati. The Bank of Connersville. The Washington Star cautions the public against the reception of the notes of the Arlington and of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Banks of Washington. Both are worthless, being mere bogus machinery started there for the purpose of flooding the country with their irresponsible issues.
